Strawberry Slush

9 cups water

2 cups vodka

2 cups sugar

1 (12-ounce) can frozen orange juice

2 small envelopes unsweetened strawberry Kool-Aid

2 (12-ounce) packages frozen strawberries

Lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, or Champagne

In a large saucepan combine the water, vodka, and sugar and bring to a boil. Allow to cool. Add the orange juice and Kool-Aid mix. Pour into a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.

To serve, chip the frozen slush with an ice pick. Put the slush pieces into a glass, filling about halfway. Fill the rest of the glass with soda, ginger ale, or champagne.
